Tell us about your personal background. Why are you passionate about this issue? Making an idea a reality takes innovation, dedication and strong leadership. Do you have the necessary entrepreneurial skills to realize your vision?

As a lighting Camera operator i have witnessed first hand differing versions of our contemporary society. From the wealth of middle America to the refugee camps in the Western Sahara environment and sustainability mean differing things to all generations.

I feel passionately that it is our responsibility to educate and change our current methods of civilisation and change them to benefit our planet and all of its inhabitants.

This I believe can come from educating and inspiring individuals to become examples to others.
